Looks like the "Love Affair" Rose Gold A9 was a success, and thus B&O released a new (permanent?) similar looking special edition "brass" A9.

Any thoughts? I think I personally prefer the rose gold look (I'm a bit biased though), but the "smoked oak" legs look rather nice and contemporary in their design so overall a nice addition to the range (I wonder if they will be sold separately).

Loving the look of this.  Especially the legs. Nice variation of the rose gold and the black edition theme.

Just ordered a rose gold edition this morning... I think I prefer walnut, so everything is ok for me ;-)

(I would have been more worried by a mkIII Stick out tongue )

 Enjoy it.  Can we have a picture when it arrives please?

Same here, weird coincidence! And I found the timing of the announcement a bit unfortunate as well, even though (judging from the pictures at least) I still prefer the rose golden finish to the brass one.

If a Mk III was announced however, then I would have definitely cancelled my order. But I don't foresee any improvements needed for the A9 to warrant a Mk III in the near future which is why I decided that it's sensible to get one now (plus, I liked the love affair edition too much to pass).

yay

I love the features of the MK2

And Duels, i agree it's beautiful.  It's something about the contrast between the brightwork and the dark

I have just received a Beoplay A9 white version and I think it's a great product. Love the features that you can control most things directly "on top" without using an additional device...

Im thinking of adding a Kvadrat cover but Im sure yet. Does anyone here have that already?

What is the status of Chromecast support. I thought it was coming during the spring?

I must admit, I really like this new SE A9.

My A9 is installed in the office and, on balance, is arguably my most pleasing recent B&O purchase. Great all-round balanced audio.
